Hi all.
Take the raw 2.1.5 source for PREDICT and apply the enclosed patch, and
you will have a PREDICT server that supports up to 32,000 satellites in
MultiTrack mode !!!!!!! Also, in this mode, it will display as many
satellites as it can fit on your 80-column screen - a 50-line screen
displays the first 74 satellites in the list.
If you want a LOWER limit, just change the definition of MAX_SATELLITES
at around line 50 of predict.c but note that there are issues that will
prevent this value from being raised much higher at present.
Also, for the benefit of the authors of the various client software, an
additional command has been added to the server code. If this server
receives a GET_MAXSATS command, it returns the string "32000\n" to the
client to indicate that the client may have to handle details for up to
that many satellites. Clients that receive an error indication to this
call should be prepared to deal with a maximum of 250 satellites.
There is further work to be done to integrate this limit into the rest
of the program. In particular, the commands that require you to select a
satellite for display can currently only select the first 26 satellites
in the list, so don't expect more than that yet.
Best wishes from Riley.
